Declarations of a disaster situation since 1993Declarations of a disaster situation since 1993



Flood disaster in 2013Flood disaster in 2013


21 declarations of a disaster situation (by the county authorities)

The main disaster areas were in Upper Bavaria (mainly Rosenheim), Lower Bavaria (mainly Deggendorf, Passau) and Upper Palatinate in the wider area of Regensburg

Evacuation of about 13,600 persons

Strong need for regional / transregional disaster relief within Bavaria




Strong requirement for special equipement (helicopter, digger, all-terrain vehicles, powerful pumps etc.)

The Bavarian Ministry of the Interior, for Building and Transport could fulfill all the requests for forces and special equipement of the Bavarian districts

In the “hot phase” of the flood there were up to 20,000 forces per day in action.

During the whole flood there were about 100,000 forces deployed throughout Bavaria




Experiences, among others: The provision of special task forces for transregional, nationwide and

cross-border disaster relief (210 units built by Fire Brigades and 21 units built by voluntary relief organisations) proved its worth.

The established software system „EPSweb“ (EinsatzProtokollSystem – web) providing information for other involved authorities, the distribution of reports/ requests/ orders and the documentation of operations eased the disaster management and communication

The Bavarian strategic reserve of sandbags (11 centres of distribution throughout Bavaria) proved its worth.

Amazing help of (non-trained) volunteers (e.g. students). Excellent cooperation with the water resources authorities Implementation of special disaster control plan „Flood“ and local alarm and

action plan in the framework of the implementation of the EU Floods Directive


Special Fire Brigade task forcesSpecial Fire Brigade task forces

Different kinds of special Fire Brigade task forces for the transregional, nationwide and cross-border disaster relief:

Task force standard Task force flood – sandbag (32 in Bavaria) Task force flood – pumping (31 in Bavaria) Storm (loss) – motor saw Storm (loss) – roof safety CBRN defence Usually one task force = unit of 110 persons and their technical

equipment



Strategic reserve of sandbagsStrategic reserve of sandbags

Jointly financed by the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior, for Building and Transport and the Bavarian Ministry of Environment and Consumer Protection

11 centres of distribution throughout Bavaria with about 2,100,000 sandbags in all, built up and provided by the water resources authorities

In the case of emergency the requests of sandbags and their distribution are operated centrally by the Ministry of the Interior, for Building and Transport as supreme disaster control authority



Flood risk management plans and disaster Flood risk management plans and disaster control plans control plans

In the framework of the implementation of the EU “Floods” Directive in Bavaria a uniform catalogue of measures was created.

Especially two measures of this catalogue concern and challenge the disaster management:

Creation of local alarm and action plans by the municipalities.

Creation of special disaster control plans flood by the lower disaster control authorities.



Challenges to the implementation of the Challenges to the implementation of the measuresmeasures

First actions in general taken by the local security authorities (municipalities) and not by disaster control authorities

base of every disaster control planning is the analysis of hazards and risks

Flood risk assessment needs enough data material to be analyzed

Flood hazard maps and the flood risk maps, which had to be built up till 2013 in the context of the EU-Floods-Directive and persons with local knowledge



The local alarm and action plan - proceeding The local alarm and action plan - proceeding

1. Analysis of the flood hazard and risks and identification of the geographical areas and the objects or infrastructures which are likely to be affected by floods inside the municipality.

2. Risk assessment and scenarios, planning assumptions.

3. Identification and definition of measures to ensure rapid response and resources mobilization.

4. Specification of the defined measures and translation of them into alarm and deployment commands.

5. The summary of these alarm and deployment commands forms the local alarm and action plan.



Special disaster control plan floodSpecial disaster control plan flood

Includes all local alarm and action plans in the administrative area of the respective disaster control authority.

The aim is to manage and coordinate the local plans in order to ensure a rapid, consistent and coordinated response to the threat of floods.
